BLACK+DECKER71-536 13 Piece 1/4-Inch to 1-1/2-Inch Spade Drill Bit Assor

this is a great spade bit set and I am happy to have such a variety of sizes all in one set. the blades are sharp and have been consistently reliable and durable through a number of house projects and homeowner use. I was pleased with the price paid and the quality of the item. the case rolls up nicely for easy transportation and to prevent the bits from falling out and it also protects from getting poked by one of the bits while moving the set. works very well and is a high quality item.

I really like this spade bit set. The bits are very sharp and work great. Included in this set are large spade bits that I have trouble finding (especially in sets). I know that they will eventually wear out, but after using one bit for five different projects it is still as sharp as it was in the beginning.The soft case is excellent. It rolls up easily and holds the bits securely. Also, the tips of the bits are protected by a layer of material on top and bottom. This keeps the bits from banging into one another as you roll them up and store them.

These are good bits, in a good holder. While not industrial quality, the bits work well, and seem more than sturdy enough for average homeowner use.The storage roll may be a bigger selling point, than the bits themselves. Finally, someone realized that those cheap vinyl tool rolls that crack and let things fall out of them right away, are not much better than nothing at all. This is a sturdy roll up pouch, with an elastic band to hold every bit in place, and a protective strip to keep the bits sharp, and not let them poke through under normal circumstances. The pouch itself seems to be either fairly heavy canvas, or Cordura, and should last a long time.

I love getting cases with my tools for the simple fact that I usually end up traveling with the tools.This case is really durable and holds the bits firm, it has tabs on the outside to keep the bits from falling out or puncturing other things. It rolls up really compact and takes up very little room in my 18 volt combo bag.The bits them selves are made by black an decker and is exactly what you would expect from a company with their reputation, I learned my lesson a long time ago on bits and will never order off brands again.I highly recommend these for the simple fact that I am almost positive that even once these bits start to dull I will replace them individually and keep using the case...

This review is for the Black & Decker 71-536 1/4-Inch to 1-1/2-Inch Spade Drill Bit Kit.I've purchased two of these, one for my 'drill kit' and the other to keep near my drill press.Although some other reviewers have found 'run out' in some of the bits, that's not been my finding. However, you should keep in mind that these are by no means a top of the line set. If you purchase this item I would recommend that you test each bit before the window to return the item closes.These are, to me, good to have on hand for occasional use and are priced accordingly. The entire pack costs less than one of my "good" Titanium drill bits.I'd also recommend that, wherever possible, you use a sacrifical piece of wood on the backside of the work. This eliminates the splintering of the wood as the bit bores completely through. The sacrificial board takes the abuse. Note that the work and the sacrificial wood must be tightly held together - videos are available on the internet that show how to do that procedure. The alternative is to bore nearly completely through the work and then move the bit to the other side and complete the job using the pilot hole as a guide. Otherwise the work tends to splinter on the exit of the bit. YMMV.I rate this kit with five stars not because they are necessarily a terrific tool investment, but because I've found them effective and, given the price point, when they fail they are cheap enough to replace. If you need something that you will hand down to your descendants you will probably need to look elsewhere.HTHRegards,Jim

I still have the smaller bits but the bigger ones are gone and broken.For light woodwork and diy, they work great.They look durable but after boring holes on the way and projects, they just broke.I got it cheap back then so that is fine but for future I will try rated heavy duty ones.

I was pleasantly surprised by these. For the price, i thought it would just be this little mini set, but I was delighted to see that they're definitely full-sized, strong and the roll up case is a definite bonus that saves a ton of room in the tool bag. If you need these, you can't go wrong with this set.

Built an art table for my children with a ream of paper on a dowel to feed through and over the table so they'd have a constant supply of fresh drawing surface. These bits were perfect for drilling the holes in the legs for the dowel to hang through. Makes quite a mess though! Wear your safety goggles.

They worked perfect for what i needed, good quality

Esta muy practica la funda de transporte.Tiene buena relación calidad-precio.Se usan en un taller de carpintería, principalmente con MDF y han salido buenas, el filo ha durado.Buen filo y estan centradas

MUY BUENAS PARA TRABAJOS DE MEDIANOS A LIGEROS

Fantastic value! You will not easily find the sizes larger than 1", which I needed for installing USB outlets in my boat. Very handy to have and I love the case to keep them all together.

Es una buena colección y a un precio razonable. Para casi todas las necesidades domésticas.
